Free Fire update 2024: New characters

Kassie Best Combo
Kassie is a new addition in 2024. She should be paired with other healers in Free Fire to bring out the best outcome.

Kassie, the Neuroscientist will be the newest addition to this update. For the unknown, the electroshock-savvy character can effectively heal her teammates.

Her skill is called "Electrotherapy". In detail:

"Forms a healing bond with a target companion to restore 3 Health/s to both. Additionally, the skill can be used again to instantly restore 100 Health to the target. If the target's health is below 50, the skill will be used automatically, but the amount of healing will be 50% of the original value, that is, it will restore 50 Health."

Characters with balance adjustments

Several characters in Free Fire update 2024 will experience the adjustments for balance.

Nairi - Ice Walls with Restrictions

  • Steel Gel: After 3 seconds of deployment, restores 160 durability per second and 10 HP per second to allies within 5m.

Nairi’s Steel Gel enhances ice walls by restoring their durability and healing nearby allies. That is why she is ideal for strong defensive positions and ensures team survival during intense skirmishes.

Her abilities are especially useful in prolonging the lifespan of cover and fortifications. With the latest updates, she can support teams in holding their ground longer and planning their next moves more effectively.

Skyler

  • Breaker: Releases a sonic wave that deals 500 damage per second to Ice Walls within a 4m radius. Lasts 6 seconds and can store up to 2 charges.

Skyler's ability is improved to make opponents' ice walls more vulnerable. This allows players to deal more effective attacks.
